Intuition

“I think we have a stray dog,” I explain while he refills the dog’s bowls. “Can you check under the deck?” “How would an entire dog get underneath our deck?” he asked condescendingly. “I’m not sure! Just believe me, something is under there,” I exclaim pointing at the deck. Despite investigating for a solid thirty minutes, my father returns with no news of seeing a stray dog. While the howling is too loud for me, he sleeps through the night without hearing anything. However, because neither…

According to the assessment found on www.41q.com, my Myers Briggs type is INTJ (“41 Questions,” 2013). This means that I am introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging. While INTJs are generally reserved as a whole and usually do not take the lead in projects unless they feel it is absolutely necessary, they do possess several traits which allow leadership to flourish. These traits often allow INTJs to effectively and efficiently lead teams when the project is within their area of expertise.…

Do you trust yourself? Do you think you are capable of making the best decision for yourself? Whether you answer yes or no to my question, the correct answer to everyone would be yes. We are all capable of making the best decisions for ourselves because we all have what is called a gut feeling. The term gut feeling is the instinct, the basic feeling we sometimes feel without a rationale. A lot of the times we tend to disregard our own feelings because there is no logical reasoning behind them.…

A Juxtaposition of the Metaphysics of Aquinas and Kant Two key philosophers that one must examine in order to gain a better grasp of metaphysics are Saint Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant. Through a thorough examination of both thinkers’ metaphysical philosophies, one can conclude that they differ in their beliefs regarding the origin and essence of beings and Being. In his examination of metaphysics, Saint Thomas Aquinas believes that in order to understand being and Being, one must start with…

American Romanticism, Transcendentalism, and Dark Romanticism flourished in the early to mid 1800s. This type of literature is characterized by including nature and countryside living, emotional reasoning, traditional folklore, strange and supernatural occurrences, and youthful innocence. The movie “Into the Woods” is a mixture of several commonly known folktales that are told to children such as “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Cinderella”.“In these folktales, there are many characteristics of…

How does the existence of this disease affect his account of the pure forms of intuition? With kids who have Anhidrosis, parents often find them touching hot stoves and burning themselves, or running into things and breaking bones, but still not crying out in pain. With this rare disease, Kant would say that this proves that spatial…

important information, calculating the best action, and presenting it to you. The hang-ups primarily come when we are forced to question ourselves (Gladwell, 2005). Thin-slicing is built off of previously observed patterns, but life doesn’t always prescribe to our preconceived ideas of how a situation should play out. This creates what’s known as the Warren-Harding Error. The Warren-Harding Error is named after the president, who “most historians agree, [was] one of the worst presidents in…

data technology, companies hired people based on instinct and intuition. Don Peck discusses the shift to a reliance on big data in his article “They’re Watching You at Work.” Peck explores the changing practices in the hiring of employees. More and more companies are employing data-driven hiring techniques due to the ease in finding the best employees, and because this data “...offers a company a sharp edge over basic human intuition…” (Peck 8). This assumption contends that because of the…

not expect others not to discriminate with respect to race, it does not follow that it is not a demand on me. In other words, justice demands non-discriminatory behaviour per se, no matter if others are adhering to it. Cohen is appealing to our intuition here; that this is such an obvious and unequivocal demand of justice is sufficient to reject C1. It follows from this that P1 and/or P2 are false. The obvious target being P2, since, as the racism example highlights, a just act need not be…

ones are those pleasant behaviors such as accommodating, cooperative, and compliant. As I look back in my clinical experience, most clients I had were not that pleasant. I always consider that there is a reason for everything. I always rely on my intuition when there are changes in my clients’ behavior as well. If they were pleasant then not nice shortly after, I will always have a thorough assessment right away to make sure they are not confuse or declining in health. I can relate an event to…
